Finally a review that gets closest to the frustration this movie made me feel amid the sea of praise I’ve been seeing. No other movie in recent years has made me feel more disconnected with culture at large and NO it’s not because I’m no fun and hated the ending. (It made me think of Versus.)

Got called out for posting “colorized” silent film clips (footage colored entirely by hand at the behest of the original director in 1899) which hasn’t happened since Peter Jackson’s hideous vandalism caught on. Nature is healing, etc.

I spent most of today seeking to meet with one of the many victims of ICE raids currently jailed in Downtown LA. While @chrclla.bsky.social focuses its efforts on impact litigation, my team boosts efforts on the ground whenever possible. What I saw speaks to the crisis in LA & beyond.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

"I'll automate my first draft with AI and then add the human stuff" is just about the stupidest thing I have ever heard in my life and, in itself, an argument against using AI to draft anything if that's an example of same.

This very much reminds me of the spiritualist craze of the 19th century that lasted into the post-WWI period. Basically, people who were vulnerable to begin with (specifically thinking of postwar grief) embraced a realm of spirits and fairies

Constitutional law expert: Many attacks on the judiciary don’t appear to be animated by a desire for good-faith debates… they seem instead of a piece of other efforts to neutralize any actor or institution that would “seek to limit this President’s power.”

DW Griffith directed BIRTH OF A NATION (1915), a virulently racist film (and neither his first nor his last one of those) that saw racist violence follow wherever it was screened. So, naturally, there are film bros and gals who think we should "ignore the racism" and keep it in the canon. Thread

"We need a Hitler of the left." See how stupid that sounds? Are we still looking for reasons to replace the donor class and the parasitic gerontocracy that suckles at its teat at the top of the DNC? How about you just pay actual reporters a living wage and make fact-driven media free for everyone?
